patient suffering. For half q century

moved to Memphis in 1885, where for
time he taught school, meantime
preparing himself for practice as a

bar, where he took rank with the
highest and best OF his time. His
mind seemed fitted for great under
tskiDgS, and he soon found himseli
at the head OF movements, and
giving them shape and direction,
which were the foundations Of this
city's present prosperity. In
connection with the late Rob

Tate, the sole survivor OF the trio, it ia
conceded that bis brain and pen have
accomplished the great works for NJ en-
phis, the evidences OF which we see

TO Philadelphia. They passed quite out of
the lives OF their New York friends, who
have remained ever since in ignorance of
their whereabouts.
About the time of the death of Domansld
hls father-in-law, Der, died in Buffalo. His
daughter knew nothing of his circunl-
stances, believing, indeed that he died poor.
Such was not the case, however AT his
death he was worth large sum of money,
deposited in New York bank. Only one
or two OF those acquainted with him knew
THIS and they did not reveal it, wishing to
secure the share of the elder daughter, by
lar the larger portion.
Although they were able to keep the mat
Ter concealed they were unable to get hold
OF the money, and a few weeks ago it became
known to several friends Of Mrs. Domansk
One of these friends, Cyszinski by name,
Immediately set about finding the widow
and bringing her into the possession of her
due. He came over from New York this
week and at once took steps t6tliscover the
woman. Thus far he has been unsuccessful
but Is still confident that his search will not
be fruitleSs. He is communicating with Po-
landers in different sections of the city, and
has already engaged counsel to assist in Sc

A CANONCHET SENSATION.
Willie Sprague, Who Married His Step
Aunt, Seeks Divorce

Ali1U, DECKS a divorce.
A Newport, R. l., dispatch to the New
York Times says: 1t is stated upon excellent
authority that Willie Sprague, son of ex-Gov.
VIM Sprague and grandson of the late Chief
Justice Chase, is to sue for divorce 1t will
be remembered that he married his step
mothers sister The ground upon which the
petition viii be based is that Willie who was
mere boy at the time of the marriage, was
not free agent. Papers win be filed at the
next term of the Supreme Court. Willie re-
manned with his father when Mrs. Kate
Chase-Sprague left Canonchet, and since
his mothers divorce he has invariably taken
sides with his father Every one knows
Willie Sprague, who led the van in the great
battle at Canonchet in the days Of the Chat
fee-Sprague war. His encounter with Bob
Thompson down at Naragansett Pier made
him popular, and ever since he has been
looked on as remarkably promising young
fellow
One Monday night, four years ago, Gov.
Sprague sat in the Providence Opera House
and seemed to enjoy himself greatly. That
night he got on the midnight Shore Line
train. There was nothing unusual about
that, but two days later, when dispatch an
nounced ex-Gov. Sprague's marriage at
Staunton, Va, there was a breeze and a
hustle throughout the State. The Gov
ernor came home in q few days. and for
about week the new Mrs. Sprague attract
ed good deal of attention in her prone
nades up and down the streets. The family
went down to Canonchet that Summer, and
Mrs. Sprague's striking bathing costume
furnished seaside correspondents with ma
terial for many letters. Mrs. Sprague's sis
ter, Avis Weed, was also at Canonchet, and
they were constant companions in their
walks and drives around the pier. In time
Willie forSOok his mustang and rifle, and
was no longer seen making his wild dashes
over hedge and ditch or shooting yellowlegs
in the salt marshes. He became the cava-
lier of his aunt by marriage and, it is said,
read poetry to her down on the rocks, where
the roar Of the surf furnished the accompa-
niment.
Then came another wave of excitement
when Willie walked into Canonchet and
announced that he had married his step
mothers sister But it all died out in time
and Willie and his bride settled down to the
routine of life. After awhile, however, they
were seen less in each others company, and
at last, the pier gossips say, they never met
at all. For month or more nothing was
seen of Willie, and servants from Canonchet
furnished information that he was busily at
work on some mechanical contTivance on
which he proposed to get patent. Then he
was seen about the pier at Canonchet for a
week or two, but went off to New York very
suddenly and did not return. Rumor says
he was working in q machine shop there,
but down at Canonchet it was reported that
"a warm friend of Gov. Sprague had placed
him in an excellent position in dry goods
house in the metropolis. 1t now transpires
that the domestic relations of the young
couple were not as pleasant as they should
be, and the rupture will lead to suit for
divorce

following conversation was carried on be-

of our guide:

There is little romance attached to this
statement. Years ago, just after the i'll
